Swisher (66") 28 HP Zero Turn Riding Lawn Mower

Todd's Recommendation

The first thing you will notice about the Swisher ZT2866 zero turn mower is how beautifully this mower runs. From the easy-to-use electric start to the smoothness of the hydraulically dampened control levers, this mower is a pleasure to operate.

The Swisher ZT2866 has a hand-controlled cutting deck adjustment that is surprisingly simple to use. The huge 66-inch deck cuts consistently on all cut-height settings (from 1.5 to 5 inches), and its three mowing blades neatly clip the entire diameter under the cutting deck.

The Swisher ZT2866 offers excellent handling out of tight-angle turns, and the power provided by the 28-hp Briggs and Stratton engine allows the Swisher ZT2866 to hum along at up to 6 mph.

This unit's steel frame provides a stable ride, and the suspension's ability to manage bumpy terrain is nearly comparable to those of higher-end commercial mowers. Adding to this machine's comfort is its spring-loaded seat, which features a high-back design and standard armrests that seem immune to this mower's natural vibrations.

Overall, the Swisher ZT2866 performs very well in residential settings and has enough power and stability to do a good job in light-duty commercial use.
